TIN Revival.

Reports from the Black Hills indicate
a revival of interest and enterprise in
the direction of developing the great tin
deposits known to exist there. The
revival is cf special interest because it
brings assurance that a large amount of
capital is to be employed Immediately
In the work. Want Of capital has been
the main reason Of the failure to develop
these mines sooner. There has been
almost absolutely no experience in this
country in working tin deposits. The
Cornwall mines in England have mo-
nopolized the supply Of the world, and
1t has taken some time to enlist English
capital in the newly discovered tin
mines Of the Black Hills. 1t appears
that it has now been done, and that ex-
tensive practical operations are to be
forthwith i%naugurated. The special
field of these operations is to be what is
known as the Harvey tin range, which
is q semi-circular area of about twenty
miles long by several miles wide, ex-
tending along the eastern and northern
base of the Harvey range. There are
in this district vast deposits of tin ore,
and in localities there are what miners
call true assure veins. While expert.
mentation was progressing in these
deposits a great many locations were
taken up under the land laws, and arc
now owned by companies organized tc
develop them. All that has been nee
essary was to enlist sufficient capital tC
practically and fully develop the rich
ness Of the deposits. The English
companies now interested in the work
are confidently expected to do this. i
is not to be doubted that many otheI
companies will follow suit, and thus tn,
development will 60 forward on a Crane
scale. 1t is a matter of the utmost i'm
portance. The United States annual,
pay a tribute of $50, 900 to the own
ers of tin mines and affiliated indust
ries in England. If this enormou
tribute can be stopped and the supply
mined at home it means the upbuildin,

a Fakir's Trick Of Trade.

A tall man with a long gray beard and
q last summers straw hat stood on Four
teenth street near Broadway, holding
aloft a small yellow covered box, three
inches long and one inch wide. Every
few minutes he would take a long breath
and shout at the top Of his voice:
snow then, ladies, for five cents I will
sell you a pin, n nail tooth pick, a nut
picker, a paper cutter, a shoe %buttoner, a
glove buttoner, a candle s%nuffer, and a
mighty useful corkscrew all combined in
this n little instrument. For five cents
you can get two dozen Of these great COM
bination tools"
The fellow made so much noise that a
few ladies occasionally stopped to listen,
and any number Of men and boys in
vested five cents out of curiosity. The
inquisitive reporter made a purchase, and
saw his title clear to two dozen hairpins.
A lady standing neal remarked: "Well,
that is a shame"
"See here, lady," retorted the peddler
quickly, ''you just stop and think, and
see If you cannot use a hairpin to do all
the things l have stated"
The lady blushed and withdrew. New

The best advice at this season of the
year is to keep cool. If you can't keep
cool, keep as cool as you can. Thou
sands of people are sweating and swear
ing at the heat who do not keep as cool
as they easily might. Ice water, fans
fine linen, sun shades, etc, are good
enough in their way in the struggle tc
keep cool, but after all the best protec.
ton is by care in diet. If one is in.
temperate or thoughtlcss at table. and
stufs the stomach with strong food, in
vain will he struggle with fan and shade
to keep down the temperature. 1t is
like shoveling coal into a furnace, and
then complaining that the result is heat
To load the stomach with meat and
heat producing food, which may be well
enough as protection against the rigors
OF winter, is stark idiocy in sunme,
when there is too much heat. The
thing to do then is to bank the furnace
by reducing the quantity of food and by
taking pains in selecting those kinds OF
food which give the maximum OF
nourishment with the minimum OF
heat. Ordinary intelligence is a sufici.
ent guide, or any reputable physician
will readily give the required informa-
ton. There is no mystery about it. A
little dietetic discipline, a little alb
stinence, a little thoughtfulness, are all
that is required, and in nine cases out of
ten the thermometer can thus be defed
TO do its worst.-Sioux City Journal.

A Factor Of Progress.

The important influence of the devel-
opment Of the mineral resources of this
country upon its advancement is scarce
comprehended. Indeed, the history of
civilization Of the world, its progress
and Improvement may be largely traced
to the influence of mining and the util-
ization of it's products in one form or
another. But for the discovery and
adaptation of iron, copper, and other of
the more common and useful metals,
the probability is that the world to-day
would show but slight improvement
beyond that which marked what is now
known as the stone age. The history of
human advancement may be readily
traced by the improvement made in the
use of the different minerals. The dis
coyery and adaptation Of iron, however
crude in its beginning, marked a new
era in the history of the human race, as
by 1t large advantage was secured over
those who are still ignorant of its
existence and a~daptabiIity. Iron dis
placed the sling and stone arrow, i'm
proved the arms of the discoverer and
enabled them to widen the range of
their genius and activity in clearing
forests, erecting better dwellings, and
obtaining better results from the ~cultiva-
ton Of the soil. While lifting these
races OF men into better circumstances
1t allowed them to exert their know
ledge and power in other directions.
The same advantages have followed
every new discovery of mineral and
every new application of the product of
the mines whenever and wherever
made known. The settlement and
progress Of the Pacific coast into an en-
pire of industry and activity a century
before the slowly creeping tide OF popu-
lation would have reached it from the
east is a marked and prominent
example. The history of Colorado and
Montana and the western territories are
additional proofs of the same facts, and
the recent and wonderful development
which has Weakened the lethargy of a
number of the Southern states into
unwonted activity by the development
OF neglected iron III is another
proof in the same direction.
The discovery Of steel, petroleum,
natural gas, aluminium, and in fact
every prominent product or improve
ment in its use and adaptibility has
marked a new era in the history of
civilization and progress. The indie
structible quality of it's product, its
wonderful adaptation to every human
need, the variety and extent of its dis
tribution, the permanence and sub
stantial character Of its results, gives a
permanency and reliability to mining
which makes II far superior to all others.
yet there is no industry or line of bust
ness SO generally misunderstood and
misrepresented. As wide as are the
several industries of this nation to-day,
the most substantial and important
basis of its future permanence and pros
perity is the practical development and
wise utilization of it's immense and un.
equaled mineral resources. As i'm
portant as is this matter there is no
line of business concerning which the
government and people are 80 neglect
full and inasHsrept,-Chicago Mining

On coming out OF the army, just at
the close Of the war, suffered with in.
digestion, which soon developed into
dyspepsia, which so worked on my sys-
tenn that was reduced TO only 49,
pounds, although brawny man six feet
tall. For twenty years | was a sufferer
from chronic dyspepsia. Last February
I commenced taking S. S. S., and after
using eight bottles had no trace OF the
disease left in my system, and l weighed
lSO pounds.
Ny wife also suffered from dyspepsia.
After I was cured | began treating Eer
with S. S. S. with the happest results.

to command the attention of sufferers

1t is claimed that Swift's Specific is a
purely vegetable compound, that is en-
tirely free from potash and mercury mix

direct, purifying and restoring without
injury to the nervous system.

The resolutions adopted by the
Greenville Association will meet the
approval OF every teacher in the
State. That the teachers need in
struction there is no doubt, and a
normal school is the best place to
receive it. II is true that there is a
so-called department for normal
training at the State University, but
this does not amount to much. as We
all know. We hope steps will be
taken at all early day towards the

TEACHERS DEPARTMENT.
ARTHUR KIBLER, EDITOR.
The Free school Term.

We notice that the OJserrer is in
favor Of lengthening the Free School
term with the same amount Of money
now available. All we freely admit,
desire it to be longer that it now is.
| That it is too short there is no ques-
ton. But as to the means by which
the term is to be made longer We
differ from the Obserce,. Let lis take
the proposition already given, that a
school receives Sl20 a year. At $40
month the school will continue in
operation three months. Decrease the
salary to $50 month and the term
would be heightened to six months
of course. Anyone can see that this
would be the result A man en-
ploys a laborer at 81 day: suddenly
new idea comes into the mind of
the employer: Il will pay only 50
cents day, and consequently get
two days work for the same amount
of money that I paid before for one
days work Bright idea indeed {!
He rejoices over this new discovery
and wonders why he was so blind
before. He mentions his discovery to
the employee, and strange to say the
latter does not agree to the plan, and
absolutely all of the plans of the
great discOrerer are come to naught,
and the ingenious employer at last
realizes that, ''all is vanity and vex-
alton of spirit" and that 'there is
nothing new under the SUM-
Writers about schools sometimes
lose sight Of the teacher. They
think that he can teach as well for
$50 dollars month as $40, IS he has
no use for money, and is only work
ing for the good of humanity. This
Is indeed high plane upon which
to place the teacher. Itis gratifying
indeed to be considered one of earth's
benefactols.
No, instead OF increasing the term
as indicated by the Observer, shorten
it. If school gets 500 from the
public fund, and is in operation four
months decrease the time to two
months and give the teacher $50
dollars month. The patrons
would then see the absurdity of so
short session, and would be willing
to help by private subscriptions.
The result would be better teaching.
By the other planswe would be GER
tain to have very poor teachers. And
could we reasonably expect anything
else when they are paid only Sl2 or
SIS dollars & month.
OF course, the Observer supposes
that the patrons of the schools would
be willing to help pay the teacher.
A little experience is all that is
necessary to discover how willing,
they would be, when they know that
it is a free school,"
We know that the Observer would
be willing to do anything to help our
schools, but We feel that mistake
has been made as to the method of
lengthening the school term.
